"I've condemned every form of violence, no matter what the source is...The President is yet to condemn... the far-right and the white supremacist, and those guys walking around with the AK-47s and not doing a damn thing about them" - @JoeBiden at #CNNTownHall

@JoeBiden Not only has Trump failed to condemn armed insurrectionists and vigilantes -- he has *defended them* and *cheered them on* npr.org/sections/live-…

@JoeBiden And remember there is a *long list* of right-wing domestic terrorists who killed and injured Americans out of allegiance to Trump and his ideology.

Here's just a sampling:

@JoeBiden Right-wing violence under Trump:

- 70% ⬆️ in violent attacks perpetrated in the name of far-right ideology during Trump’s 1st year

- 57% ⬆️ in anti-Semitic incidents

- 77% ⬆️ in incidents of white supremacist propaganda and recruitment efforts on college campuses

@JoeBiden In 2019, right-wing extremists perpetrated nearly 2/3 of terrorist attacks and plots in US & committed 90%+ of attacks and plots between January 1 and May 8, 2020.

What has Trump done? He's cheered them on.

@JoeBiden Don't believe me? Here's @KellyannePolls explaining that violence and chaos IS TRUMP'S RE-ELECTION STRATEGY: marketwatch.com/story/kellyann…
